How To Transfer Data From One Laptop To Another

Hi, there are many ways to do it, depending on your particular needs:

Case 1: Both the laptops can be brought physically close In this case, you can use bluetooth to transfer data if it’s small data like a few pictures or songs. Just turn on bluetooth on both the laptops and then select the intended files from one laptop and right click.

From given options, select the “send to” option and select the other computer. Alternatively, you can use an external device to transfer, for example a pen drive or hard disk. Just connect the device in first computer, transfer required files there, and then connect it to the other computer and copy files from device to computer.

Case 2: Both the laptops can NOT be brought physically close In this case, if the laptops are too far and a common external device can also not be used, you need to upload data from first computer online for example on google drive. Then, you can send it online to a user who has access to the other computer.
